by Daniel Lambert, the greatest son of
Ethan Allen q :25 1-2), he in turn the ia
vorite son of the famous Vermont Black
Hawk. Aristos was out of the noted
brood mare Fanny Jackson, dam also of
Annie Page (2:27D, Lambertus Gce trial
2 :lS) and several other fast ones she by
Stonewall Jackson, son of Williamson's
Black Hawk, by Vermont Black Hawk.
Aristos, it will be remembered, is the
sire of II. B. Winship, which with run
ming mate has a record of 2 :06, the fast
est mile ever trotted by any horse in any
way of going. Aristos himself has long
been able to go far below his record and
his trotting action has never been snr-
passed for purity and perfection; in this
respect, as in color, form and disposition,
r. ID. F. is "A faithful copy of his sire.
The dam of r. D. F. was got by Bay
Lester, also owned by Lester Fish; he by
the Warren Hulett horse, commonly
called War Hulett, son of Wordruff's
Columbus, by Smiths famous Young
Columbus, second dam a long, low, reso-
lutte road mare by Clifford Morgan. The
dam of Bay Lester was by General Sher-
man, another son of Young Columbus
from dam by old Ethan Allen: the Sec
ond dam of Bay Lester was by Vermont
Black Hawk. The dam of War Hulett
was by Andrus' Hambletonian, sire of the
famous trotting mare Princess q 800,
dam of Happy Medium, now first of living
sires of trotters; Andrus' Hambletonian
by Judson's Hambletonian, by Bishops
Hambletonan, by imp. Messenger. The
dam of WoodruffHs Columbus was by
Vermont Hambletonian, he by Harris
IIambletonan, the most noted son of
Bishops Hambletonian. This is the
pedigree given me by Mr.. Fish and sew
eral of his neighbors perfectly familiar
with the breeders and breeding of the
comparatively little known horses. Bay
Lester, War Hulett and Woodrufl-s Col
umbus.
1t will be noted that this pedigree,
though probably largely accidental, COM
bines nearly all of our great native
sources of trottng speed and courage.
Through his sire, himself horse of
unsurpassed merit, r. ID. F. traces
through the removed Daniel Lambert to
the peerless Ethan Allen on the one side,
and to old Abdallah, sire of the great
Hambletonian, on the other; through
both sire and dam of his sire he runs to
Black Hawk, and through the second
dam of his sire to North American, sire OF
Whitehall, which got Rhode Island, sire
of Gov. Sprague q :20t) with his family
of trotters Through the sire of his
dam r. ID. f. traces by two direct lines
to Young Columbus, sire of eleven in the
80 list, he being by the old Canadian
trotter Columbus, and out of Black Ma
ria by Young Cock of the Rock, by Bar
NUNS Cock of the Rock, by Duroc, by
imp. Diomed. Through the dam of Wal
llulett. as before noted, he strikes An
drus flambetonian, a horse that mus
have been of great merit, as he got no
only the dam of Happy Medium, but al
\
son, the excellent son of Black Hawl
which got Black Kate, dam of Ben Frank
lin q :29) and Addison Lambert q :27)
, Through the dam of Gen. Sherman h,
again strikes Ethan Allen and through
-. the second dam of Bay Lester he agail
reaches Black Hawk. Through the dan
of WoodrutfHs Columbus he traces through
Vermont Hambletonian to the Justly
- while his own second dam was by Clifford
Morgan, that got Beppo, one of the frs
horses, if not the very first, to trot mil,
-, in 2:30. From Clifford Morgan ais,
sprung the noted Golddust, sire of Lu
= ellie Golddust (2:lGN and founder of tn,
q Golddust family of trotters.
